G'day All,

Unfortunately due to an upload problem, I was unable to get this image to the site before the competition closed. I don't think it would have been competitive anyhow, but I certainly would appreciate some feedback.



Till next time...

Keith, sure looks like movement to me. Sorry you weren't able to get it in.

Certainly looks like it could of been a worthy entrant, sorry about the difficulties... a painful reminder to always try to get them in early as you never know what might happen.

Keith - hate to add salt to the wound, however I too think this was a very worthy entrant...next time eh!? Nice shot!

Ditto, that is a good image.

Next time maybe?

It is a good image mate. Sorry to hear you rmisfortune. But if this is the quality of your work then there will be plenty of comps to enter into in the future that i am sure you will be competitive in.

Thanks all for the encouraging words....

I try avoiding post processing as much as possible, as such, all I did with this one was crop a little at the bottom of the image to remove an annoying distraction and I used a little negative exposure compensation. Actually, I was pleasantly surprised. By using slightly less then -1 exp comp, I was able to restore all the blown highlights without losing any of the shadows, thus bringing the histogram entirely within the D70's dynamic range. BTW, as I live in St.Kilda, I'm out taking pix in the area fairly offten, and I sure see a lot of others doing the same. I'm convinced I've seen some of you guys and gals out and about.

Note to self: Must rock up to next Melbourne meet

Till next time...
Regards
Keith
